OVERVIEW:
Coriander is the fruit (seed) of the cilantro plant and has a slightly citrus-like and earthy taste that deepens with cooking. This sweet-and-sour seed is a staple seasoning in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines and is well known as a flavoring for liquor, beers, and various soups, sauces, and meats.
Due to its carminative qualities, coriander has been used to support healthy digestion and is often added to beans or other hard to digest dishes. The minerals, essential oils and vitamins that it contains helps supports lowering blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure.
